LulzSec Debunks UK Census Hack

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the we-swear-we-didn't-do-this-one dept.

Earlier this morning we reported that an arrest had been made relating to the hacker group LulzSec. mask.of.sanity notes "Hacking group LulzSec has poured cloud water on claims that it had stolen UK Census data and was preparing to release the records. 'Just saw the pastebin of the UK census hack. That wasn't us — don't believe fake LulzSec releases unless we put out a tweet first,' the group said from its official Twitter account."

    How can you prove who you are when you're anonymous? Well, I guess there's always a public key.
    Use a public key, you dorks.

    Isn't it cold water? To pour cold water on something, to debunk it.

    Cloud water is rain.
